I was tagged by Tiffany. People rarely tag me for these things so, let’s see how it goes…
Rules
- Link to the person who tagged you.
- Post six things that make you happy along with these rules.
- Then tag six others (letting them know, of course)
- Let the person who tagged you know when your entry is complete.
My 6 things
- Overcoming demons. Sure it’s scary. But I’m getting better at facing my demons, allowing me to become a better me (cryptic, I know but you’ll be okay).
- Music. All day, all night (although, I’ve been slacking recently).
- Being appreciated. So many people wished me “Happpy Birthday” yesterday. It was overwhelming and made me feel special. A little thing but a big thing. Work-wise, a sincere “thank you” can make all the difference.
- Film. I love watching movies. Independent, sci-fi, and any well-acted, character-driven story are my favorites.
- Good food with great service. I love trying new restaurants (probably due to my years as a restaurant PR/marketing professional). I’ve taken a break but Atlanta has a crop of new spots I need to visit. Join me?
- Sleep. Sleep is elusive and erratic for me. When I can grab it, I do so with fervor.
I tag:
- Tiye
- Patricia
- George
- Lynne
- Karsh
- Twanna
So you’re on Twitter and (possibly) wondering why I’m on it, too? You’ve come to the right place!
My tweets are a mixture of comments on the web experience (including web design/development, blogging, social media, etc.), music, movies, black folk issues, LGBT issues and random, personal tidbits. These are my interests. I tend not to be interested in sports, politics, hip hop or top 20 network television programs.
I used to “protect” my tweets (make them private) unless I was attending a public function with heavy Twitter participation, such as SoCon or SXSW. However, Twitter has gotten so popular, that it’s more of a hassle for me to switch back and forth.
That stated, my Twitter stream is pretty diverse. As a result, my followers far outnumber the accounts I follow. There are simply too many. If you’re following me and I haven’t returned the favor, send me an email (< hover), keeping the following in mind:
Generally, I follow:
- People I know IRL (in real life)
- Longtime virtual/web friends
- Web Designers, Developers, Producers
- Social Media participants
- LBGT folk
- Atlanta folk
- Generally interesting people
Generally, I do not follow:
- People I don’t know who tweet about things I don’t care about
- Social Media/PR/Marketing “experts”
- Most apps/products
- Accounts that haven’t updated much (or at all)
- Accounts that only tweet an RSS feed
- Fake anything accounts
- People who don’t tweet in English (because it’s the only language I can read)
I will unfollow:
- Accounts that tweet offensive and/or insensitive crap
- Accounts that haven’t updated in months
- Accounts that tweet too often and/or about things I don’t care about
Note: This post is updated as my use of Twitter changes.
